It doesn't look like a d-bus error to me. I have the same issue on karmik: If i do startx -- /usr/bin/Xnest -geometry 800x640 :2 & all I get is a black Xnest window and a few messages like this one: (EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (2) looking at ps f: 2145 pts/0 S 0:00 \_ /bin/bash /usr/bin/startx -- /usr/bin/Xnest -geometry 800x640 :2 2163 pts/0 S 0:00 | \_ xinit /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc -- /usr/bin/Xnest -geometry 800x640 :2 -auth /tmp/serverauth.Ye3BMqKlp2 2164 pts/0 S 0:00 | \_ /usr/bin/Xnest :0 -geometry 800x640 :2 -auth /tmp/serverauth.Ye3BMqKlp2 the /usr/bin/Xnest :0 -geometry 800x640 :2 line looks a bit weird, :0 should not be there, altough this doesn't appear to be the cause of the issue. Running: Xnest -geometry 800x640 :2 & export DISPLAY=:2 x-session-manager & seems to work and spawns an usable X session with window manager and all. Alex -- Xnest just shows a black screen and message about AccessDenied https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/335253 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
